Issues: Whether the matter was required to be remanded for de novo adjudication in view of the appellant's alternative claim regarding the duty treatment of furnace oil and the need to verify compliance with the conditions of the exemption notifications.
Analysis: The appellant raised an alternative plea that part of the furnace oil was used as feed stock and that the remaining quantity attracted duty at the concessional rates under the relevant exemption notifications. The quantities claimed for exemption, as well as fulfilment of the notification conditions, required factual verification. The burden to establish entitlement to exemption lay on the assessee, and the alternative claims had not been examined in the earlier adjudication. In these circumstances, the matter was remanded for fresh consideration, with all merits kept open before the adjudicating authority.
Conclusion: The case was remanded for de novo adjudication, leaving the substantive issues open for determination by the adjudicating authority.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded only to the extent of remand, and the adjudication was restored to the original authority for fresh decision after hearing the appellant.
Ratio Decidendi: Where entitlement to exemption depends on verification of factual conditions and the assessee has not established compliance in the earlier proceedings, remand for de novo adjudication is appropriate and the merits may be left open.
